Chicken Biryani

October 9, 2025

Murghi no Palau | Chicken Biryani “This is perfect for a quick weekend fix. Despite my constant ranting about how only “bone-in” meats and fish give the dish its rich flavour, I do have to stray from the path every now and then and give in to my strong and…

SOUPE TONKINOISE AU POULET

October 1, 2025

(PHỞ GÀ) J’ai l’habitude de faire cette recette en fin de journée (un peu avant ou tout juste après le souper) et de laisser le bouillon mijoter toute la nuit. Le matin venu, j’éteins le feu. Ainsi, mon bouillon a mijoté pendant une douzaine d’heures. Je ne laisse jamais mijoter…

The Big Dipper

October 1, 2025

Many of the men who inhabited Port-Royal come from a seaside area in Western France. When Samuel de Champlain established his Feast of Good Cheer, this was said to be one of the recipes served to remind the men of life at home. Mussels were abundant and there was an…

Steak Frites with Creamy Whiskey Peppercorn Sauce

September 3, 2025

Paris is one of my favorite places on earth (most obvious statement of the century). The City of Love has been a culinary and artistic North Star for as long as I can remember. My move? When I land at Charles de Gaulle airport, I dust off the transatlantic cobwebs…

Tomato Galette with Olive Tapenade & Black Pepper Pastry

Just as a fresh berry pie screams of summer, so too does this savory version of itself. And it’s a perfect lunch or dinner with a simple salad and maybe a glass (or two) of rosé. Slice the pieces a little thinner and it makes for a pretty great appetizer…
